My Mode flags are:
// Add all User, Other and Group Auth to the mode flag.
nModeFlags = S_IRWXU + S_IRWXO + S_IRWXG;
Lastly... are you flag fields and CCSID defined as 10i0 value?
D nFlags S 10I 0
D nModeFlags S 10I 0
D nCCSID S 10I 0
If you are using an older data-type such as "B" (binary), it may not be
converting correctly on the call to the IFS API.

Bob,
I tried your suggestions and have the same result.
I have mapped the directory using windoz map network drive after setting the
share in iSeries Access.
The RPG code that creates the file is:
// Remove file if it exists first, so we don't overwrite beg file seg
RC=unlink(%TrimR(IFS_File_Name));
// Create file with correct code page, in text mode
Open_Flag = O_CODEPAGE + O_RDWR + O_CREAT ;
Mode_Flag = S_IWUSR + S_IRUSR + S_IRGRP + S_IROTH;
fd=open(%TrimR(IFS_File_Name) :Open_Flag : Mode_Flag : Code_Page);
// Close file
RC=close(fd);
// File Created - Open for text output
Open_Flag = (O_TEXTDATA + O_RDWR + O_APPEND);
fd=open(%TrimR(IFS_File_Name) : Open_Flag);

Looks like you've obfuscated your HTML.
So, you open the file to create it.
You close the file.
You re-open the same file and then write data to it.
The data looks okay when viewing it via a 5250 screen.
You open it in Notepad and it looks obfuscated.
This is again, a CCSID issue. Something's obviously not right, and I'm sorry
to state the obvious because without seeing the code, I can't really do much
else.
You might also look at how you're mapping the IFS folder to your PC. I
remember in Client Access there was a CCSID setting that defaults to
something completely screwy. If you not using the standard Windows method to
Map a Network Drive, and are using CA to do it, that could be your issue.
Just a shot in the dark here, before you do all that investigating, try
changing the flags for the Initial Open to use O_RDWR instead of O_WRONLY.
I use:
O_CODEPAGE + O_RDWR + O_CREAT
To create the file, then I use:
O_TEXTDATA + O_RDWR + O_APPEND
To open the file the second time to write data to it.
Again, the purpose of this sequence is to create or replace a file and then
open it for output.

Bob,
I added the O_APPEND, now when I try to open with NOTEPAD, I see
格浴㹬格慥㹤琼瑩

7990;䙆㸢潃牲捥慴汢⁥牏
敤獲⼼潦瑮㰾琯瑩 as the
data.
When I look in the IFS using the WRKLNK I see the same data that I had
before.
The attributes display indicates code page 819.
Coded character set ID . . . . . . . . : 819
What happened?
Why am I still getting garbage in my output data (as viewed in the WRKLNK)
I must be doing something wrong, but I am out of my depth here.
Thanks,

If not, what am I doing wrong, and why do I have the garbage imbedded in my
data?

Yes, well I suspect you're problem is related to what I suggested. Opening
it directly from Excel or Windows Explore would produce the same results.
I may being going out on a limb here, but I'm going to "guess" you
open/create the file on the IFS in once step, then write data to it? If so,
the system doesn't automatically convert it to the 819 codepage. You have to
open/create it, then close it, then reopen it with append before writing to
it. At that point the system will automatically translate the EBCDIC to the
ASCII codepage.

Bob,
I am accessing the file directly from the IFS.
The code page is 819.
Bob Cozzi wrote:
How are you getting the file from the IFS to the PC? Or aren't you?
I find that if you use Windows Explorer to pull down a file, you get the
results you experience.
If you use FTP to transfer the file from the IFS to the PC, you get good
results.
This has to do with the CCSID of the IFS file. Make sure it is PC ASCII (I
think that's CCSID 819) and it should open fine from Explorer or FTP.

Subject: IFS Output problem
I am creating a file in the IFS in HTML format with a .xls extension to be
opened by MS EXCEL.
I am getting garbage characters in my output file that my program did not
create.
When I try to open the file, EXCEL can not determine what type of data it
contains.
When I view it in NOTEPAD it looks fine.
I SAVE the file from NOTEPAD *without any changes*, then EXCEL can open it.
When it is displayed, I get weird results as follows:
Run Date: 07/14/2005Correctable OrdersRequested by: JEFF
repeated 245 times....
The file in NOTEPAD is as follows:
êRun Date:
07/14/2005Correctable OrdersRequested by: JEFF
width="100%">
The HEX version of the data (from option 5 on WRKLNK is :
